Getting Affected By Negativity

I hate to admit it, but I have been bombarded by tons of negative thoughts recently. The negative thoughts piled onto one another, gathered together and started pushing me away from my goals, the very goals that I knew I can achieve if I held the correct mindset. My studies and my production as an adviser are just not showing any ideal results. While I have achieved my academic goals of hitting Dean’s list for a year and do not mind if I really do get bad grades, having good results to show as a Financial Adviser is very important to me. I had a good start initially and was one of the better producers in my batch for the first month, but somehow the momentum was lost.

I cannot afford to let negativity consume me, yet I have adopted a very cowardly attitude towards life recently… running away from reality by indulging in games all day long. I don’t like this feeling of finding myself useless, therefore I’m writing this post as a reminder to myself to wake up. I’m a grown-up and adults should not have to find excuses for their lack of results. As a student and financial adviser, my colleagues always help me to find excuses for my lack of cases. However, I know that I can achieve even more than a full-time adviser if I set my mind to do it.

I have the knowledge, the integrity, the skills, the qualifications and my looks are not bad… I should be able to achieve much more. From this moment, I remind myself of my goals as a financial adviser. I urge myself to do well in the industry even as a part-time adviser for my existing clients, my agency leaders, my family and myself. Of course, even my future prospects that I know will benefit more if they are my clients rather than someone else’s client.

I look forward to seeing more cases like one of my existing clients who chose to commit to a policy with me, rather than with his friend of six years, because of the professionalism I exhibit. I know I can achieve much more and I know that visitors to my blog are also looking forward to seeing me succeed in all areas of my life. I will fight for the day when I can finally proclaim “I can do it, so can you!”

Watch me sprint towards my goal towards the year end and don’t forget… pray for me.
